Heh I published something very similar this morning. Looks like everyone has the same idea https://reactfordataviz.com/articles/corona-simulation/ https://reac

  Interesting simulation but very slow at showing any effect. After 3500+ iterations (several minutes) there were still only 5 deaths in the first simulator (without distancing), all in the first iterations. I suggest to find a way to make it clear when it's done or speed it up to get to the point in one minute max.

    That's weird, I get many deaths in just a few iterations. What were you running on? You seem to have found a bug. Here's a video of when I run these: https://twitter.com/Swizec/status/1239599601537015808 https://twitter.com/Swizec/status/1239599601537015808

      Parent is probably referring to the "Covid19 with distancing" simulation. Some feedback: these are very simplistic simulations and obviously not aiming for accuracy but please consider changing the default 20% "reinfectability" parameter. All evidence and medical knowledge indicates that reports of reinfection are either: - issues with testing (false positives/negatives) - extremely rare https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covid-19-reinfection/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/covid-19-reinfection/

        It's scary enough without reinfection. Seems unlikely. > the 30,000-letter genetic code of the virus changes by one letter every 15 days [from link] But could be like the common cold and flu, with new strains each year - but more contagious and deadly. Even then, we could still have new vaccines each year, and better treatment methods.
